PAUL SORVINO

Dee Dee Sorvino, widow of actor Paul Sorvino, said she hopes her late husband's politics didn’t play a role in him being left out of the In Memoriam segment during the Oscars.

Several notable stars were left out of the segment, which honors those who have died, including Leslie Jordan and Anne Heche.

The Oscars' in memoriam segment on March 12 left out actors such as Paul Sorvino, Anne Heche, Tom Sizemore and others, leading to criticism.

One would have to go back hundreds of years to find a monarch who reigned longer than Queen Elizabeth II.

Paul Sorvino, the cop and crook of the silver screen best known for his roles in projects such as “Goodfellas” and “Law & Order,” died Monday at 83.

Sorvino played roles on both sides of the law in over 50 years in film and television.

Specializing in playing cops and crooks, Sorvino was a mainstay in films and television.
